Subject: How to cc: to myself automatically

Hi,

	We are using Pine 3.93 on an Unix box running Solaris 2.5.

	When the users use pine, some of them want to implement the feature

	to cc: to themselves automatically. I read the FAQ and don't seem

	to find it. Is it possible for the user to do it or the system

	administrator has to do it?

Thanks,

Sankar

If you want to keep a copy of mail you send then the best way of doing so
is _not_ by Cc'ing it to yourself.  (This would pass it to the mail
system, which would then send it back to your INBOX.)

Instead you want to use "Fcc" (File Carbon Copy).  This is a header field
akin to "To:", "Cc:", etc but which takes the name of one of your folders
instead of an e-mail address.

You can get to (and set/change) the Fcc header value when composing a
message by putting your cursor on a header line and then typing ^R (Rich
Headers).  Then put the cursor on the now-revealed Fcc line and ask Pine
for help (by typing ^G).

If you want to have this set to a folder by default (eg, "sent-mail") then
go to Pine's Setup Configuration screen (S then C at its Main Menu) and
look through the options for "default-fcc".  Read its help text for more
information.

By setting default-fcc the Fcc header will be set to this value by default
for every message you send (except when overridden by an Fcc value for an
Address Book entry).  If you _don't_ want to store a copy of the message
you're sending (perhaps it has a large file attached to it) then use the
^R (Rich Headers) command to see all the headers of the message you're
composing and then delete the Fcc header line's value.

Cheers,

If you do want to do it with cc instead of fcc (I can think of some
reasons to do it that way) then you can use the customized-hdrs variable
in the Config screen to set up a cc or bcc header.
